Do Not Pay
Do Not Pay (DNP) operates a resource dedicated to preventing and detecting improper payments.
DNP is authorized and governed by the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA), and several Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memoranda and circulars. The authorities generally belong to OMB, which delegated the operational aspects to the Department of the Treasury.
The Working System and DNP together create one element of the larger multi-agency government-wide DNP Initiative and centrally provides a variety of data matching and data analytics services to support agency programs in their efforts to prevent and detect improper payments.
